With some examples of my projects I would like to discuss how audio-visual artistic research projects can create a kind of multi-folded storytelling work that questions how we conceive and live of relations to geography, or better to something that is in-between a geography and a mind-set.  How can we understand the expression of landscape as knowledge, as a changing and speaking entity within our contemporary production of subjectivity? How does a media practice of mapping relate to the idea of what I take from the term machinic animism by Deleuze & Guattari and how can we understand it as a ‘migrant work’. This volunteers for another direction of meaning within the politics of migration and its existential practices in the arts, that intervene in today's fabrication of the social-political body.
